The CBN TIES which implies, Tertiary Institutions Entrepreneurship Scheme) The scheme was designed by the CBN to shift graduates and undergraduates of Nigerian universities and polytechnics away from being hell-bent on looking for white-collar jobs.
As we all know, there is this belief that immediately a person graduates from school, he or she is entitled to a paid work from the federal government.
